In short, he looked like a sculpture that had been very carefully sculpted by God himself.
If only his delicate look matched his personality.
His fiery, rowdy and rebellious personality was known by all those who lived in the empire.
Wearing vulgar, provocative clothes which were either backless and/or off-shoulders and hanging out with commoners and illegitimate children despite being from one of the most prestigious families.
No person who slighted him was spared. Whether it was of wit or strength, anyone who dared to pick a fight left defeated.
He was also shrouded in rumors of having a wild night life and many messy relationships.
Despite all this, no one could question his noble bloodline as he single handedly raised a company named "Golden Flower" which has currently penetrated all major industries becoming the first choice for both nobles and commoners alike with its premium collections and discounted items.
The products from his company were even favored internationally. So much so that all nations near Estelle empire which had friendly relations had their own branches so that the delay in shipping and risk of both missing out & damage could be avoided.
Especially the clothing & jewelry industry, any new clothes and jewelry designed by Golden Flower would be completely pre-booked even before the first stock hit the shelves.
All the other shops would then scramble to make a similar design or copy the design outright. It was unknown what magic he used as no copy could match the exquisite designs completely, always looking like a cheap copy.
Although his reputation in the noble circle was at rock bottom, his reputation among the commoners was very good.
He had many charities and non-profits organizations not only that, he regularly donated to orphanages and organized scholarship programs. He also developed many schools and hospitals near the slums offering services for cheap.
These various services had greatly benefited the society raising his reputation among the common people naming him as one of the few conscientious nobles who actually cared about their people.
"Excuse me sir, how long would it be until he's alright?"
Davian is snapped out of his thoughts at the question presented by the worried Sebastian.
He narrowed his eyes for a moment before looking at the unwell youth on the bed.
"I apologize Mr. Sebastian as I'm unable to give a precise time of when His Excellency will be done healing. Although if I had to guess, it would take at least a few hours." Davian replied in a respectful tone.
"A few hours!?!?" Exclaimed Sebastian, "It would take that long even for His Excellency?!?!"
"I'm afraid, Yes Mr. Sebastian. Young Master Mikhail's condition has deteriorated far too much. His treatment should not have been delayed to this extent." While looking at the youth on the bed, "Any longer and we would have come to perform a funeral instead." Davian replied in a cold tone while frowning.
At this reply, Sebastian could only shut his mouth and chew on his lips.
Who in the Estelle empire wasn't aware of the fact that his young master Mikhail was unfavored?
Despite Young master Mikhail's accomplishments, His Grace, the Duke never paid any attention to him. It was always either scolding his conduct or giving him punishments, sometimes physical, without ever hearing his part of the story.
All of his malice and hatred would be focused on Young master Mikhail. He would be punished as if he was the root of all evil in the world.
His brothers weren't any better. The eldest Young master just perfunctorily placated him and advised him to behave himself while the second Young master just picked fights with him always calling him names and discouraging his ideas.
Although it seemed like the fourth Young master wanted to stand up for him, he was far too young and also not as favored to try and risk it.
Surprisingly, the Young master who was known for his ferocious personality never retaliated against them and just endured their "disciplinary actions" without even a word of retort.
He always tried to gain their approval by doing anything that he could. Though it never did work as they just took him for granted.
His Young master wasn't always unfavored. When he was young, he was actually the Duke's favorite child as he resembled the late Duchess the most. While all his other sons just looked like him, it was only the third Young master who completely took after the late Duchess matching both her looks and preferences.
However his personality was the exact opposite of the Duchess'. While the Duchess was calm & gentle, he was rowdy & rough.
But this wasn't what made him unfavored.
